CSR Day 2

Carley had a good night, alternating between good sleep and hyper activity. At 2 she got her last meal and she calmed down a little although by the time they came to get her, she was visibly hungry. Anytime anything came near her mouth she tried to eat it. At around 7:30 they gave her some medication to put her to sleep but she didn't react to it and they called in the anesthesiologist that is supposed to sedate her for one of the tests. They decide to go ahead and sedate her for all the tests. She was gone until around noon. She had a fluoroscopy of the Diaphragm. She then had a diagnostic X-Ray of her in various positions to determine the flexibility of her spine. She then had a tomographic image taken of her before her CT scan. The CT evaluates the volume of her lungs and the bony structure. Tomorrow a pulmonologist, orthopaedic surgeon and the thoracic surgeon will evaluate her and then meet with us before we leave around noon. Then on Tuesday, they get together and make the final decision on whether she is a candidate for the surgery.
Currently she is sleeping again after joining me for a three hour siesta earlier. Her vitals are great. Thanks for all your thoughts and prayers.
